The PR disaster alone would destroy the rest of the products. Imagine how mad everyone would be if M$ makes Hypixel, Mineplex, and other servers hit the fans.

Eh... Not quite.

Assuming that all Microsoft is doing is discontinuing updates for Minecraft, some people would actually be happy because the modding community for the discontinued Java version would be able to thrive without constantly updating their mods. (Of course, until people inevitably stop joining this tiny modding community.)

Now, from what I've heard, the pocket edition actually has more people playing it than the PC edition. This may not be true, but if it is, that means that a lot of people won't be effected by this change at all.

I'm not sure if Microsoft is legally able to stop people from hosting servers of their game, although it would be pretty pointless...

I get offtopic a lot, be warned. I also often mention a Minecraft clone called Minetest. The clone is nowhere near playable with it's default game in my opinion, but it's at least the start of a good open-source voxel rendering engine, and maybe one day it might be decently playable.

The fear that everyone has is that Microsoft is going to discontinue the Java version, and is going to port the C version to Linux and Mac. (Or worse, they won't, so you'll have to get a Windows 10 PC, iPhone or Console to play Minecraft.)

This also brings the fear that not only will the same mods that were used on the Java edition be impossible to recreate on the C edition, but community content will be limited to pay-to-get maps, resource packs and skins.

I feel like there are points to either side, and benefits on both sides as well. (And if Microsoft wants to be nice, maybe they'll develop a good Mod API for Minecraft C and they won't put restrictions on community content for the PC. If that happens, I would gladly accept being able to play Minecraft with anyone else no matter what system.)
